The invention relates to a process for producing a composite component having at least one functional element composed of at least one cylindrical hollow profile and at least one plastic to be introduced into the hollow profile by means of specific injection molding methods.

A holding portion having a diameter larger than that of a cavity is formed in communication with the cavity, in an area of a two-part type mold, the area including a portion corresponding to an annular groove. Subsequently, an insert member formed in a cylindrical shape and provided with, on an outer circumferential surface, the annular groove having no step in a groove surface is fitted to the holding portion, and then the mold is closed. On an inner circumferential surface of the insert member, a surface treatment layer having a surface roughness rougher than those of other portions of the insert member is formed. Molten resin is injected into the cavity; thereafter, an assist material is injected into the cavity to mold the resin into a desired pipe body. Then, the insert member and the pipe body are integrated along with curing of the resin.

Provided is a method for manufacturing an interdental cleaning device (1) including a base portion (10) having a handle portion (11) and a core portion (12); and a soft portion (20) having a cleaning soft portion (21), a non-slip portion (22), and connecting portions (23) extending from two sites of the non-slip portion (22) and being connected to the cleaning soft portion (21). The method includes causing a second gate (49) of second molds (40) and (41) for molding the soft portion (20) to open at a position substantially equally distant from positions of two communicating openings (48a) of a non-slip molding space (47) for molding the non-slip portion (22), the two communicating openings (48a) communicating with connecting portion molding spaces (48) for molding the connecting portions (23); and charging the elastomeric material from the second gate (49) into a second molding space (42) for molding the soft portion (20) to fill the molding space (42).

A novel collapsible plant support includes a collapsible coil adapted to rest on a flat surface. In a particular embodiment, the collapsible plant support includes a plurality of vertical support structures coupled to the collapsible coil so as to provide additional support. In another particular embodiment, a collapsible plant support includes plant receptacle receiving element that supports both a collapsible coil and also a plant receptacle. In a more particular embodiment, the plant receptacle receiving element includes fluid ducts for connecting multiple plant receptacle receiving elements into a fluid network. In another embodiment, the coil is disposed within a helical sleeve coupled to a flexible, cylindrical mesh.

Pre-molded cylindrical sub-assemblies for inclusion in an implantable medical lead are described. The pre-molded cylindrical sub-assemblies comprise a cylindrical conductive element formed from a conductive material to define a substantially continuous interior surface and a substantially continuous exterior surface, and an insulative element formed from an insulative material molded onto the interior surface of the cylindrical conductive element. An interior surface of the insulative element defines a lumen of the pre-molded cylindrical sub-assembly configured to receive one or more elongated conductors of the implantable medical lead, and the cylindrical conductive element is configured to be electrically connected to one of the elongated conductors with the elongated conductors within the lumen. The cylindrical conductive element may act as an electrode, e.g., on a distal portion of the lead, or a connector, e.g., on a proximal portion of the lead.

A method for injection molding a preform includes: a) loading a barrier membrane into a first mold cavity; b) injecting melt into the first mold cavity to undermold the barrier membrane and form a preform inner layer on an inside of the barrier membrane; c) moving the preform inner layer and the barrier membrane from the first mold cavity into a second mold cavity; and d) injecting melt into the second mold cavity to overmold the barrier membrane and form a preform outer layer on an outside of the barrier membrane. Preforms formed by the method and an injection molding machine to carry out the method are also disclosed.

A pipe has first and second exterior layers of insulation. The first layer of insulation has a higher temperature rating than the second. The second layer can be thicker than the first. In a system and method for forming the insulated pipe, a first mold having a first inner diameter is used for the first layer of insulation and a second mold having a second inner diameter greater than the first inner diameter is used for the second layer of insulation. The first layer of insulation is formed from a first polymer and the second is formed over the first layer from a second polymer. Multiple insulated pipes can be joined together at field joints and field joint insulation can be formed from first and second layers of field joint insulation corresponding in material and thickness to the first and second layers of pipe insulation.

A portable molding system is configured for forming insulation on pipes. A set of transportable process modules are configured to be shipped to a molding site, operatively connected together at the molding site to form a site-installed molding system, and subsequently disconnected for transport to another site. The set of transportable process modules includes one or more resin preparation modules configured to prepare resin for being formed into insulation on the pipes. One or more mold modules are configured to define a mold cavity. The one or more mold modules are configured to hold a pipe in the mold cavity, to receive resin prepared by the one or more resin preparation modules in the mold cavity around the pipe, and to form said resin received in the mold cavity into insulation on the pipe.
